I have never done this before, but there is always a first time for everything. My post today is a tweet that very plainly outlines what’s next if the Trumplicans and Christo-Facists/Nationalists make it to the White House and Congress. Read it and become very afraid because it terrifies me. Most of those I love… Continue reading Chevron Gone, Next Steps

People Are Going to Go Through Some Things: Murder
We seem to be entering the next phase of authoritarianism and Facism. In court this week, a lawyer actually stood before a judge and stated the President of the United States essentially has blanket immunity. The only way to stop a President is be impeached in the House and convicted in the Senate. Then, and… Continue reading People Are Going to Go Through Some Things: Murder
Women: Time to Fear, Time to Unite
As a brother, as an uncle, and most importantly, as a father, every day I fear for my mom, my sisters, my nieces, my aunts, and most importantly, my daughter. I fear what the future holds in terms of their freedom to make choices for themselves, whether it be to work or not, to marry… Continue reading Women: Time to Fear, Time to Unite
December 31, 2024
As 2023 comes to a close, my mind has wandered to where we will be as a nation at the end of 2024. I wonder because 2024 is a presidential election year. The last one in 2020 just didn’t go so well, ending with an insurrection and the continuation of the slow crawl towards a… Continue reading December 31, 2024
The Devil’s Reach is Long and Deep
I am in the camp that President Biden should step aside and not run for re-election. Not because he is doing poorly, but because he is over 80. He has been a highly effective president steering us from the brink of collapse in many variety of ways. However, he could live to be 110 or… Continue reading The Devil’s Reach is Long and Deep
Is Coronavirus God’s Punishment?
Hurricane Katrina, HIV/AIDS, Hurricane Sandy, Haitian earthquake, 9/11, Sandy Hook, and so many other tragedies, have had religious leaders calling them God’s wrath for a multitude of sins by certain citizens of the countries affected. Now add Coronavirus COVID-19 to this list of tragedies as an act of God’s wrath. With Coronavirus now on the… Continue reading Is Coronavirus God’s Punishment?
Whom to Vote for Now?
My heart is very heavy. Mayor Pete has suspended his presidential bid. I was sitting in a movie theater scrolling through Twitter and there it was, the announcement. A web search had to be done because I couldn’t believe it to be true. As I confirmed the news, it actually felt like I had lost… Continue reading Whom to Vote for Now?
San Francisco Walkabout-ish
Today was a pretty good day to be in San Francisco. The fog was out at the ocean, but the breeze wasn’t too bad. The pelicans (one of my favorite birds) were flying about. The temperature in the Castro was just right for me. The vibe that is San Francisco was out in full force.… Continue reading San Francisco Walkabout-ish
This Isn’t Who We Are!
We often hear, “This isn’t who we are!” The truth is, this is who we are, who we are now, and who we have become. The good news is, we have a choice of whether this who we remain. Votes matter. Vote! And vote for Democrats unless this is how you want US to remain.… Continue reading This Isn’t Who We Are!
“Lead from the Outside”
I recently finished reading Stacey Abrams’ book, Lead from the Outside. She has fascinated me from the first time I heard her speak as a candidate for Georgia governor. Following her campaign and after reading her book, I firmly believe she will be sitting in the White House one day, although I do wish she… Continue reading “Lead from the Outside”
